I don't know that anyone on the left should be comforted that the same centrist NDPers who have overseen the decline of the party since 2015 are still running the show.

I don’t know which company co cocked this design, but the top tiers of the ##ottbike racks in the new cage at 235 Queen St. are fixed, so good luck getting a bike up there.

Enjoyed doing 65km on the river and canal paths today, but they also make the case for why MUPs only work in low volume settings. Anyone have any good alternate rides I don’t know nor just need reminding of?

Everybody is distracted by tariffs and "America's standing in the world" while the President of the United States and his buddies are doing insider trading out in the open.

It's not just Elon, it's all of them. Tariffs are a play to game the system and make themselves richer.

I'm reminded that what got us out of the Depression was socialist policies, a 90% tax rate on the rich and killing millions of fascists.

NEW: Conservative candidate used a secret Signal group chat with Freedom Convoy leaders, right-wing media and far-right influencers Andrew Lawton was a member of the “clandestine” group chat used to coordinate convoy messaging on social media

Preston Manning was unable to embed his small-minded conservatism as the governing default in Canada, so now he just wants his own fiefdom. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This is why I'm so furious with the NDP. It's been at least 5 yrs of Canadians talking about the need to strengthen healthcare, the need for affordable housing, the possibilities of UBI, ending attacks on human rights, you name it. These are bread & butter NDP issues but where the fuck are they?

#ACAB is more true than ever in 2025.

In the face of #Trump's #tradewar, 'our' capitalists and their political representatives will try to make the working-class carry the burden. Instead of joining 'Team Canada,' we will need to fight back. My article for @midnightsunmag.bsky.social. www.midnightsunmag.ca/from-trade-w...

"The notion of a united patriotic effort that is waged in everyone’s best interest is a lie or distortion when advanced by the ruling class, but politicians and the media are pushing it with great enthusiasm"

Looking forward to an election in which our choices are between Stephen Harper’s lab experiment and Jean Chrétien’s spiritual offspring.

The strategies he is suggesting here are for the benefit of the ruling class #Carney represents. A drive to find new trading partners will demand 'competitiveness' and this will mean increased exploitation of workers, in the 'national interest,' of course. www.cnn.com/2025/03/27/a...

Would love to hear from NDPers who have switched camp what exactly they think they will get from a central banker.
